Honey?

"Why are you surprised?"

"Yeah, because this is the first time I've heard you call it that."

"Yes, tomorrow I call every day like that."

"You're brave now huh."

"How can I not, the lion has melted like this."

Leandra just smiled.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Do you want to buy it?"

"I want to cook. Because if it rains like this, I'm afraid it will be troublesome."

"I want to eat anything."

Rigel let go of his arms, ie went to the kitchen to see if the contents of the refrigerator contained any cooking ingredients.

Without thinking he took some of the ingredients, he began to process them. Leandra noticed Rigel cooking nearby. You could say maybe Rigel is more proficient in cooking. However, for Leandra maybe everything is more adept at Rigel.

"You learned to cook long ago?"

"It's been a while since my father died. Mother has to work whether or not I want to prepare it at home."

"Oh sorry for remembering the past."

"It's okay, I won't cry anyway."

"You're mocking me aren't you?"

"Who's mocking anyway, dear."

Leandra smiled slightly hearing the word 'dear' from Rigel, for 1 year she didn't hear a call like that except her mother.

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," he said, still holding back a smile and a laugh.

At 07.00 PM

Outside the house, it was still raining heavily in Bandung. It was time for the two of them to have a slightly different dinner, not only on who was cooking but with feelings that were already warmer than before.

"Try it first," Rigel invited Leandra to eat first.

Leandra bribed the dish.

Slurp!!

"How can it be this good? What were you wearing?"

"Use the cooking hand."

"Yes, I know, it's possible to use feet."

"Just spend it."

They ate dinner together quietly. After that, they sat in the back garden watching the rain pouring down heavily.

"Do you like rain?" Leandra asked in the silence.

"It's okay, why? Oh, or do you expect my answer to be like rain?"

"No really, why force someone's answer. I'm just asking if I like it."

"I like that from the rain, the sound is calm, that's all."

"Well, that's what I like too. Usually, at home, Leonal and I often talk together like this."

They continued to talk until they finally rested in the room.

*****

On-campus at 07.00 AM

"You said you were going to the hospital?" asked Alcie who was ready to go to the hospital.

"Who with?"

"Someone."

"Oh, Rigel," said Leandra speaking with a gesture.

Alcie nodded her head.

"Why say, don't want to say ah."

"You're weird."

"Let it go."

All students are ready to do basic research for 2 weeks. They go to the hospital using a private vehicle but stay on the same path. Now Leandra and other students have arrived at the hospital where Rigel works.

They were all introduced by the lecturer to the head of the hospital foundation, after the welcoming ceremony they would start their basic research. However, some nurses saw Leandra in a different light.

"Lea."

"Hmm."

"Look at the nurses here, look at us, what's wrong?"

"Oh, they are."

"Know?"

"They don't seem to like me, I don't know maybe because at that time Rigel took care of him straight away and yesterday he went to the hospital to meet Rigel here."

"Oh right, I'm sure they're talking about you."

Leandra nodded her head slightly indifferently.

Now they are divided into several teams. Leandra and Alcie are in one team. They were taken to the emergency room, to be precise, to the nurse, Leandra had previously met.

"What is your name?" asked the nurse nonchalantly.

Everyone said his name.

"Try again what was your name earlier?" he asked Leandra.

"I?" pointing at himself.

"Yes, you."

"Leandra Ishna Nivetha, what's wrong sis?"

"Oh, Leandra. Think of Khevandra."

Deg!

She remembered that her husband's name had the Khevandra, but it either refers to her husband or not.

"Okay, now please sit over there first, please pay attention to the activities here for an hour, after that we will discuss."

The 4 people obeyed what the nurse said. They paid attention to what was happening because that day did seem busy and it was a good opportunity for them to see the activities firsthand.

"Lea, I think he knows you've been here."

"Let's go, I guess I don't know what it's related to yet."

After gaining some understanding in the room, they should take a midday break. They purposely visited the hospital canteen which was so wide.

"I didn't know the cafeteria here is this big," Alcie muttered as she looked around.

"It's the same, Ci. Me too."

They ordered food and sat down in a place near the glass wall facing the front of the hospital.

"I think it's nice to work here, the place is very clean, comfortable."

Leandra nodded her head as she devoured the food.

"You don't want to be here, Lea?"

"Yeah, I just want to, it's crazy or not. This is a very famous hospital, but yes, that is one problem. I'm afraid I'll find out later."

"If I were you, Leah. I'm even going to show off a husband like Rigel, it's a shame it's kept tightly."

"Why is that?"

"Yes, when prima donna is kept like that, later people will know the taste."

"What the hell, it's a long discussion, Ci. Later if I'm too aggressive, I'll be embarrassed too."

Alcie nudged Leandra's leg as if giving a code.

"What is it, Ci?"

Suddenly Leandra put on a smiling face. Leandra looked behind her, to see who she was smiling at.

Leandra widened her eyes and now looked at Alcie confused.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's been coded earlier, eh you mah."

"Why here?" asked Rigel beside Leandra.

Suddenly this attracted attention around him because Rigel was known by many as a man who was quite indifferent to women but he was kind and respected a woman.

"Oh, this is an assignment from campus," said Leandra nonchalantly and focused on her food.

"So you guys did basic research here."

"Yes bro, hehe."

"Yes, it's fine then, if there's anything, just let me know."

"Yeah, it's there. You don't see if your fans look like they want to eat humans."

Rigel smiled hearing Leandra like that. While Leandra was not comfortable with such a situation.

"Stop! Don't smile, you'll think our people are close."

"I'm going, Ci entrust Lea, okay?"

"Yes, sir," replied Alcie to Rigel who passed by them.

"Hey, why are you being so cool with your husband, Lea. Pity to know."

"Yeah, you just look at the human response here. It's like eating Ci people."

"That's so stupid, we don't bother them anyway."

"Hmm, it's only been a day for heaven's sake."

"Yes, naturally his name is also accompanied by a famous doctor."
